This matters in education too. Malcolm Gladwell did a bit of a study on it.
Makes sense though. In anything that is segregated by year, the oldest in one cohort is going to have nearly a full year more development than the youngest.

Hospital staffing and delivery management are more likely the causes. If the risk is low, they’re less likely to start an induction on those days.
Technology and science are not the same thing.
A mall that’s only random clothes, shoes, and jewellery stores surrounded by an ocean of parking lot is very unattractive.
As you say, a mall with actually useful stores, like grocery, pharmacy, perhaps a restaurant or two (not chain fast food), etc, with residential units on top or very close to constitutes more of a community than a mall and is very likely to be sustainable versus the former.
Too bad the TV broadcasts rarely show when anyone runs on to the field.
Nice, I have much the same setup in my house!
I visited the recently Passive House certified student residence buildings at the University of Victoria, and the heat recovery there is quite interesting. Passive House requires a very low heating load, so they recover all the heat they can from the commercial kitchen (the presence of which is rare in a Passive House because of high ventilation requirements) processes such as ventilation hoods and refrigeration systems and put it into the DHW system.
They had to get a bit creative with the design, but it’s really not that complicated. More just not doing things the way they’ve always been done.
I think there’s a lot of opportunity for reducing wasted energy in many buildings. Even the term “waste heat” is indicative that energy is typically exhausted when it could be used for space or water heating. Obviously mechanical modifications would be needed, sometimes extensive, but it’s a good option for reducing energy use.
“Ground, it’s Fred. Off to work. Request taxi to the road.”
“Fred, Ground, roger. Taxi bravo three, left on Juliet, cross runway 34 right, right on foxtrot to the gate. I’ll let security know you’re on the way. Have a good day.”
It starts early in the design process. But at that stage, it would be best to pause installation, have a mechanical engineer do the mechanical design (including equipment selection) based on an energy model and install the recommended equipment.
I work in building science. It’s obscene how little actual design and quality control goes into residential homes.
The typical design is just one step above being illegal, and people are often scared off of doing anything more than that by the threat of increased cost. However, they don’t realize that they pay for it either way; either on their mortgage, or on utilities. Only one of those you can actually own in the end.
I was going to also post the direct AMA link, but the OP is a nice concise summary of many of the key discussions, provided without having to go to that site. I’d recommend reading that instead and follow links as you see fit.
Sorry, four of the power to ethernet plugs. You put one near your router to essentially supply internet to your house’s electrical circuits, then distribute the others where you need them, such as office, living room if you want to connect a TV or console, etc.
I had a set of four for getting ethernet around the few places I rented. There was maybe the odd quality decrease when there was a lot of electrical load, but they worked great otherwise.
Politicians can’t get their back pats if there’s no one to pat their backs.
The cost of doing business.
Income-based fines should really be more commonplace.
“Our Computer”
What’s your alternative for access and supplies to many remote communities?
Oh man, I remember a Philips mp3 player I had for the longest time as a kid. You could hear the little clicks of the hard drive. Lost it on a hike, unfortunately.
Right, hopefully G100UL can replace 100LL reasonably quickly, but there’s a big difference between “commercially available” and actually available. I imagine it will be quite some time until it’s commonplace for GA aircraft, unfortunately.
These fools. Taxpayers are going to have to pay both the carbon tax owed plus the legal fees for all this. But, don’t worry, the lawyers are all friends of the politicians, so we must be in good hands.
If only we could have a government with a reasonable level of competence…
